Molasses Cornish Game Hen


I've always wanted to cook one of these little guys and I finally got around to it. It was successful, but man this guy is messy to eat! It's like your own Thanksgiving on a plate. Carve it up! I ended up picking all the leftover chicken for lunch tomorrow.


What you need:

1 Whole Cornish Hen (could use chicken of course)

2 tbsp dark molasses

2 tbsp ketchup

1 tbsp honey

1 tbsp soy sauce

pinch of ginger powder

1 tsp of garlic powder
(double the recipe for 2 birds) 

What you do:

Combine all the ingredients together. Brush half of the molasses mixture onto the cornish hen. Cover with foil and bake for half the time that the cornish hen states or, if using chicken, cook as you normally would. Halfway through take the foil off and brush occasionally with the molasses mixture until cornish hen is cooked through. The birds (as tiny as they are) take about an hour to cook.
